Opening Reception: Rooms of Grief

Kennedy Heights Arts Center invites the community to the opening reception of Rooms of Grief, a new exhibition exploring the emotional and interior spaces we inhabit when loss rearranges our world.

Each “room” in the exhibition serves as a metaphor for grief as lived experience—where silence, memory, sorrow, and renewal exist side by side. Rather than focusing solely on loss, the works on view reflect grief as a process of transformation, revealing the textures, colors, and forms of what remains and what begins again.

Co-curated by Ena Nearon of Ten Talents Network and Mallory Feltz (KHAC) Rooms of Grief brings together artists whose work offers space for reflection, connection, and quiet resilience.

Join us for an evening of art, conversation, and community as we open this contemplative and deeply human exhibition. Light refreshments will be provided and live harp music by Lin Grieser. This event is free and open to the public.
